They do a platinum everday card which is free and that could swing it if you are challenged!
Gold is currently fee free for the first year

I've booked using the AA rate and have never been asked for my AAcard. Am using the Amex plat discount in 3 weeks, if they ask for the card i will pull out my BA amex and claim innocence :-)

gavvy,

Would you mind posting back on here letting us know how you get on?

I'm thinking of using the plat discount, it's too cheap not to!

Has anyone booked with the Amex code?

Does it mention the AMEX card/code anywhere on the booking confirmation?

Thanks
I've booked using the Amex Plat code and it does say it on the confirmation.

I do have an Amex card, and it's platinum coloured, but it's not THE Platinum card. There is a difference - the pukka Platinum card has a fee and comes with all sorts of benefits. Mine is the free, cashback version.

I've done a Pay on Arrival booking so I will have to show the card but I can't see it being an isssue. I selected a standard 5 seater SUV and it offered me an upgrade to a 7 seater Explorer or similar for $43 so I took that.

I did have a Escalade booking but it was made a few months ago and we're not going until next November. As it was over a year out the rate was subject to change and it went up from £462 to $2554.20!

Ouch that's some increase - great price for the upgrade to 7 seater though.

It's actually pretty cheap at the undiscounted, pre-pay, rate. I forget the exact basic 5 seater rental cost but it was about £360. Upgrade to 7 seater is £36 - it only appears when you click through to book, it's not offered in the original list of cars.

(This is for 1st 2 weeks of Nov 2016).
